Dear young friends, learn to pray every day: this is the way to know Jesus and invite him into your lives.

I want to remind priests that the confessional must not be a torture chamber but rather an encounter with the Lord’s mercy which spurs us on to do our best. A small step, in the midst of great human limitations, can be more pleasing to God than a life which appears outwardly in order but moves through the day without confronting great difficulties. Everyone needs to be touched by the comfort and attraction of God’s saving love, which is mysteriously at work in each person, above and beyond their faults and failings.

I read little, I just glance through one newspaper. Just 15 minutes.

We proclaim the resurrection of Christ when his light illuminates the dark moments of our existence, and we are able share it with others

Let's not forget that God never gets tired of forgiving so let's never get tired of asking for forgiveness.

These days there is a lot of poverty in the world, and that's a scandal when we have so many riches and resources to give to everyone. We all have to think about how we can become a little poorer.

Grace is not part of consciousness; it is the amount of light in our souls, not knowledge nor reason.
